Editor's Note:

Welcome to Issue Twenty Three of CSR! By now, you regular readers know my baby likes stem-ironed nighties and hates the smell of burnt toast. It craves passion cashews and makes cute little sounds when a marching band goes by. Baby has an uncanny ability to turn the words of poets into a canal of gondolas with every rower singing. Issue Twenty Three is no exception. This month is filled with self-hypnotized photographs, along with muse-making art. Add to that, a group of stunning poets, an intriguing music maker and one magical book review and you've got the possibility of festive grape juice. Trust me, when you finish this issue you'll feel like the green in blades of grass. Or he only shoveled compost for a living. Either way, this issue will highjack your interest with delights seldom found in damp firewood. So forget about your unsightly liposuction scares and get busy...

Question: How do people contribute to your site? There's no submissions page or info that I've seen, and I've heard rumours that certain poets have been surprised to find their work on here. Surely as an audience, we want to know an e-zine we are reading respects authors and their permission rights? To support the arts, surely we must not take work without author consent?

I spent much of the 80s working as a freelance photographer in Europe. I returned to America in 1990. Then in 1995, I made a life-long dream come true when I traveled around the world for eight glorious months. Instead of taking pictures, I kept a journal, which eventually led me to what I feel is my "true calling". My poems have appeared in numerous national and international literary magazines both in print and on the web but I still peddle my time as a private tutor, which is not as bad as it sounds. Fact is, I no longer want to live on an iceberg, which is a good thing since they seem to be disappearing.
